About Me

I have a very busy life...as most of us do!! I work from home, I like to cook and love to read (almost any good mystery will do). I am the Mother of three boys and Grandmother to twin girls and two boys! My husband and I live on a beautiful trail system where we walk our two dogs. We have a rescue, who is part Beagle and part "mystery" hound, and a very large, very BUSY Golden Retriever pup! I am absolutely obsessed with paper crafting, card making and scrapbooking...so that's why I'm here!!
